ANJALI RAMACHANDRAN:
Anjali is a Senior Biochemistry major, pursuing pre-med.
Hometown: Colleyville, TX (near Dallas, TX).
Favorite class at UT and why: My favorite class at UT is a Classical Mythology class (CC 303) I took with Dr. Todd Curtis. I have been fascinated with ancient history and mythology my entire life, and I loved the class so much that I decided to write my thesis on classical myth!
One thing you wish you would have known as a freshman: As a freshman, I wish I would have known to take other people's advice seriously. UT advisors and mentors have a lot of experience and wisdom, and it's a really good idea to listen to what they say.
Student Organizations involved in: I am an honors member of the Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society. I am also a member of Plan II Pre-Medical Society and the American Chemistry Society. However, most of my extra-curricular involvement comes from participating in research on campus.
DESIREE KIBBEE:
Desiree is a Sophmore Biology major, pursuing pre-med.
Hometown: Joshua, TX
Favorite class at UT and why: Introductory Biology because I learned so much and it really laid the foundation for so many of the biology and science related courses I’ve taken at UT.
One thing you wish you would have known as a freshman: Time management, you save so much stress during exam times if you study consistently and start assignments early.
Student Organizations involved in: Longhorn Dance Company, Ballet East dancer, Austin Animal Center volunteer, Dell Seton volunteer.
FELICIA ROSIJI:
Felicia is a Senior Human Development major, pursuing pre-med.
Hometown: Arlington, Texas (DFW area)
Favorite class at UT and why: Family Relationships with Marci Gleason. I enjoyed this class because it was the first time I had the opportunity to learn about individuals and families from a social science perspective. This class helped me answer a lot of previous questions that I had about how relationships can affect an individual’s health, development, and life trajectory.
One thing you wish you would have known as a freshman: wish I would’ve known about pre-professional school programs such as JAMP and SHPEP. I would also like to have known about different certificate options such as the Bridging Disciplines Program Certificate.
Student Organizations involved in: Black Health Professions Organization, Texas MEDLIFE, African Student Organization, Haven Student Fellowship.
JULIETTE LICON:
JULIETTE IS A SENIOR BIOLOGY MAJOR, PURSUING PRE-MED.
Hometown: From San Antonio (Go Spurs Go!)
Favorite class at UT and why: Principles of animal behavior was my favorite because of my extremely animated and witty professor, Dr. Cummings, and that I got to learn why animals (including humans) do things that seem to be weird. Every behavior has some sort of reason behind it!
One thing you wish you would have known as a freshman: Make time to do things that are actually for your own enjoyment (even if you don't think it's going to be the biggest resume booster). There's always going to be another test or homework assignment, but that doesn't mean you should stop living your life or pursuing hobbies and bringing a little light into your life.
Student Organizations involved in: I was in Biology Scholars Program, and now I'm in Texas Bluebonnets, a spirit group! I spend the rest of my time baking, playing intramural soccer, tutoring STEM classes, and conducting research for the children's research center in the psychology department.
LIVIA FROST:
Livia is a second year public health major with a concentration in infectious disease and microbiology.
Student Organizations involved in: Livia is also co-president of Doctors Without Borders and is in the Jefferson Scholars Program; she loves to travel and learn.
Livia loves helping others fully understand biology and chemistry and is excited to help out at the PCL STEM Center!
VIVEK PATEL :
VIVEK IS A THIRD YEAR BIOLOGY MAJOR STUDENT WITH A MINOR IN PHILOSOPHY.
ZIKORA STEPHENS :
Zikora is a senior Nutrition major.
Hometown: Richmond, Texas (Houston area)
Favorite class at UT and why: My favorite class at UT has been Fertility and Reproduction! I can't stress how important this class has been to me in my college career as a pre-med student. I aspire to be a physician specializing in women's health. This class really did a great job of bringing forth the social issues that impact women's health on a global level. There aren't many opportunities to engage in the social aspect of health with the courses required for medical school so this class was very refreshing!
One thing you wish you would have known as a freshman: As a freshman, I wish I had been told to always ask for help even when it may seem unnecessary to do so. Knowing when to be humble and reach out to others for support has made a significant difference in my academics.
Student Organizations involved in: Black Health Professions Organization, African Students Organization, Black Mamas Community Collective, and Haven Student Fellowship.
